net continue

Reactivates suspended services when typed at a server, and reactivates shared printers that have been disabled by net pause when typed at a client computer.

net device

Displays list of device names and controls shared printers. When used without options, this command displays the status of all shared printers at the specified server. When used with the printername option, this command displays only the status of the specified printer.

net file

Displays the names of all open shared files and the number of file locks, if any, on each file. You can also use this command to close shared files. When used without options, this command lists all of the open files at a server. You can also type this command as net files.

net group

Adds, displays, or modifies global groups. This command also can be typed as net groups.

net help

Provides lists of network commands and topics for which you can get help, or provides help for a specific command or topic.

net helpmsg

Provides help for a network error message. 

net localgroup

Adds, displays, or modifies local groups in domains. You can also type this command as net localgroups.

net logoff

Logs off a user name from the network. 

net logon

Logs in a user name to the server and sets the user name and password for the user's client. If you do not specify a user name with this command, the default user name will be your Solaris system login name. 

net password

Changes the password for a user account on a server or in a domain. 

net pause

Suspends services or disables printers at a server. (Note: After you have followed the instructions in Chapter 4 of this guide to set up your Solaris printer, establish it as a SunLink Server shared printer, and make it available to your Microsoft Windows clients, do not use the net pause command as a method to pause the print queue. That command is interpreted by SunLink Server software as a command to disable the printer rather than merely to pause the queue. Instead, to pause the queue by way of the command line, use the net print /hold command.)

net perms

Displays or modifies resource permissions and ownership information on servers. The resources on which this command currently operates are shares, directories, and files.
